Walking through the narrow alleys of the traditional settlement of Abdera, located on the northern side of the village above the imposing square, visitors encounter impressive mansions with unique architecture and significant historical value. A characteristic feature of all the well-preserved houses is the traditional stone oven, a staple in every courtyard, even in the humblest homes. These ovens played a vital role in the daily life of the time. The Pamouktsoglou Mansion, a prominent landmark in Abdera, is mentioned in a note published in Thracian Chronicles in 1984: 'The mansion was built by Panagiotis Pamouktsoglou, who arrived around the mid-19th century from Constantinople and settled in Abdera, engaging in the tobacco trade.' During that era, Abdera, like the rest of Thrace, was under Ottoman rule. Despite being in a rural area, the Pamouktsoglou family led a prosperous, urban lifestyle, as reflected in the mansion’s structure. The family employed servants, including a cook, a seamstress, and a nanny for their six children (three boys and three girls). Of the children, only Kostas received formal education. He studied at the Great School of the Nation in Constantinople and the Gymnasium of Tsotylion in Macedonia. Thanks to his education and financial standing, Kostas was elected Mayor of Abdera, serving from approximately 1922 to 1934. In 1979, the last descendants of the family donated the mansion to the 9th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities in Komotini.
